So many errors..is this a Harlequin novel?

I felt like this should have been a Lifetime movie special. Bad script, terrible editing, choppy filming...just look at the errors listed here on IMDb. Romance movie? Yes. Historical Drama? Not by a longshot (and I'm not talking about the 'shot' Albert allegedly got--haha!)

Oh yeah! You can take them as gospel truth. E.G. IRL Victoria was/wasn't seated near the king when he yelled at her mother or some character did/ or didn't have mutton-chop whiskers at the time of her coronation. Real earth-shaking stuff!

It's well known that the "assassination attempt" is dramatically enhanced and the director was upfront about it for obvious reasons. Melbourne was a lot older IRL than Paul Bettany. Big deal!

It was never touted as a documentary. These sort of films rarely ever are. Get over it!🐭
